Problem with never using your brakes is they may not work when you really need them.
In my old MB100 I was slightly surprised by an ambulance at a cross road (you can't hear the sirens in modern cars anymore), I went for the brakes and wasn't too impressed with the lack of braking power. The brakes were in good condiition having recently (but not too recently) had new pads/ discs/ sliders lubed/ fluid.
Since then I've tried to give the brakes an occasional heavy workout when a stop is unavoidable anyway. Even so my new Renault still squeals a lot suggesting glazed pads and discs.
